Bug description

When the workspace pod is an error (i.e., .status.phase == "Failed"), the workspace remains undeleted.

This is probably due to the fact that the finalizer is not erased. Because we have succeeded in clearing the Error pod by erasing the finalizer.

Steps to reproduce

@aledbf what do you think of us adding a new control loop to ws-manager that will do the above clean-up?

One one hand, it'll keep the # of pods low, if we encounter an error condition that causes them to accumulate. But, on the other hand, it will mask a problem, depending on how we implement it.
